Public Newsroom 155: Know Your Rights: Day Labor and Migrant Work

Calling migrant workers, advocates and mutual aid volunteers!

Do you know what the minimum wage is in Chicago? What should you do if an employer refuses to pay you? How should you navigate an unsafe work site?

Join City Bureau and Chicago labor advocates to get answers on these questions and more at our Public Newsroom event at the Chicago Art Department in the Pilsen neighborhood. Meet labor organizers and journalists covering migrant labor, pick up a Know Your Rights workers’ guide, and connect with local organizations fighting for immigrant and worker rights. 

This FREE, family-friendly event will include food and activities for kids. Programming will be presented primarily in Spanish, with English translation available.

Please RSVP to this event if you are a Chicago-based advocate, organizer or volunteer with work centered on labor rights in the migrant community. Attendees should also note that programming will primarily be presented in Spanish, with English translation available. Space is limited.
